Maximize Student Engagement with Plickers

Blab today with Kayla Delzer

Thank you so much for joining us this morning on blab for the Teacherblabshow. I am going to list the awesome resources that she shared with us this morning.

Click on her picture to check out her awesome blog!
1. Remind
Remind is a communication tool that helps teachers connect instantly with students and parents.  Send quick, simple messages to any device.  You can use Remind as a reminder to parents but you can also use it as a "Flipped Classroom."  Post activities that the students are doing.  You can also post comments like:  "Ask your child about what we did today" or "Ask your child about the story we read today."

Use apps that are more project based than skill based.
Her next recommended program was Ten Marks.
TenMarks Education, Inc. provides

 personalized online 

math practice and enrichment programs 

for first through

 twelfth graders using a structured 

approach of practice, 

on-demand hints, video lessons and real-

time results

iPad presentation

Hey y'all!  I hope everyone is having an awesome Sunday.  Unfortunately, here in Louisiana, we are having some terrible rain all week and much more to come.  

I was asked to teach an iPad class and a few Promethean classes this past week to keep teachers updated on new technology that they can use in their classroom.  These are teachers that take time off just to come in the summer to learn new things.  I have to admit that I can teach kids all day and I am never nervous but to teach other teachers it a challenge.  We, as teachers, are difficult listeners so I'm always nervous but getting better everytime:)

So...I would like to share my presentation and I hope it helps to get ideas with your iPads in the classroom.

I am attaching the forms that I used for my presentation and I am also attaching my powerpoint.  Just click on the picture to send you to the link.
